Make More Noise!

£7.99

Nosy Crow has compiled a short story anthology to celebrate a century of women’s suffrage. Often, there is a slight disappointment in collections such as this, for not all the contributions are of the same quality. However, with ‘Make More Noise!’ every story is a winner; each draws the reader in and completely captivates with its theme and plot. Every story is different too; somehow you can hear the individual writer’s ‘noise’. The writer’s voice is clear. The message, the history, the learning are not hammered. Only two stories- by Sally Nicholls and Katherine Woodfine- relate directly to the inequality experienced a century ago. These are superb, really thought-provoking stories, each with subtle and new messages.

The other stories concern the achievements of women (Jeanne Willis), defying convention, or expectation, role ambitions or reputation.

‘Make More Noise!’ is a riveting, beautifully written, assembled collection that celebrates the female experience. Bookwagon is proud to include this title in our shop. We recommend it to readers aged from 10 or so.

(Nosy Crow) – £1.00 from the sale of each book will go directly to Camfed (a charity that tackles poverty and inequality by supporting marginalised girls to go to school and succeed)

‘Make More Noise‘ is a superb collection of short stories by ten of Britain’s best children’s writers celebrating women, female history, equality, opportunity and choice. Every story is strong and deserving of its place in the collection. This is an essential title for every home and every classroom.
